A Good Negotiator Is. . .

From: Rachel, Australia

Question: I'm a 22 year old student in Australia. I would like to know what you think are the personal qualities of a good negotiator.

Response: Thank you for your excellent question.

A good negotiator needs to be:
1. A good listener
2. Open-minded
3. Willing to do the homework to determine her/his interests, objectives, and alternatives
4. Well-prepared
5. Creative
6. Able to marry what s/he knows about her/his own interests and resources with the interests and resources of her/his negotiation partner
7. Someone who is always learning -- from experience, from other people, from history

Hope this gives you a good initial sense of a good negotiator's qualities.

All the best,
Steve
